Microwaved elephant

Boy do the weekends fly by or what?!  We had our last volleyball tournament of the season and headed over the mountain the day before as a special treat.  It was really nice not having to get up at the butt crack of dawn to drive an hour and a 1/2 to get to our destination.  Somehow my little stadium chair found its way out of the minivan and boy howdy do those bleachers get hard.  Our “ladies” did a great job and it was sooo much fun to watch them play and improve over the season.  I’m sad that it’s come to an end.  How will I ever get used to sleeping in on the weekends?  (Not that that’s going to happen. Ha!)

Here are some snippets and tips from the weekend:

When leaving the mall, at night, make sure your headlights are on.  Thank you officer for not giving us a ticket and believing us that we do have current car insurance.   (Now to find the current cards.  I swear I didn’t get them!  Come to think about it…doesn’t that mail go to the hub’s P.O. Box?)

Yotopia, I love you for having coconut flavored frozen yogurt.  I thought you would disappoint me and make me wish I had gone to Yogurt Hut.  It will be a sad day if you ever run out of coconut and make me drive all the way over to Yogurt Hut.

Turquoise and Caicos Essie nail color…very trendy and cool for weekend wear.  A little out of place in the office?  Maybe it just says, “I’m edgy and current …now let me tell you what you should do with your money.”  Yeah, that’s what it says.

I should be a hand model huh?

Don’t eat a whole bag of snap peas in one sitting.  Two and ½ servings is too much for one person.  You will be very unhappy the rest of the evening. 

“Anonymous” the movie.  Have you seen it?  I enjoyed it.  Now I’m wanting to go watch some Shakespeare like right now.

Oooh hey....do you remember when I said I wanted to try the chocolate "cupcake" recipe?  Yeah, well it was a huge flop of a portion of an elephant's trunky looking flop. I mean serious.  Flop.  I almost cried.  Sort of.  Both my daughter and I double checked the recipe and I followed the recipe to an awful T.   Anyone know what I might have done wrong?  Maybe my microwave is too powerful for it's own good?

Do you see to the left in the picture what it was "supposed" to look like?



Cross section of the elephant's trunk. Or I just figured out how to make stuff that looks like brain matter.  Go me!



It tasted mildly like a chocolate flavored egg that you scrambled to death in the microwave.
